Today was a career-focused Friday at Van Buren High School!
One event that took place was that Ken Rood of DNC Hydraulics, LLC spent the day talking to the English 10 classes and interested juniors and seniors about his career journey and the career opportunities DNC offers.
Another was the Millstream Career Center Reverse Job Fair.
Both VB students who attend Millstream and non-Millstream attendees who are exploring post-high school employment opportunities were able to meet with local employers to explore the career opportunities available to them.
The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be at Van Buren on Monday, March 28, from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Middle and high school students can visit the bookmobile during their lunch periods, so if students have a FHCPL card, please be sure they have their cards so they can check out books. Students can also place holds on books using the FHCPL website (www.findlaylibrary.org) and pick those up on the bookmobile as long as they identify the bookmobile as the pick-up location (they still need to have their library cards with them). Students who don't have library cards can visit the library in Findlay (206 Broadway St.) to register for a card. Parents must be present with their children and have two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID). The bookmobile will also be making stops at the school from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. on April 11 & 25, and May 9 & 23.
